第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago  because I had my relatives give me  money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit .I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model, I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid, The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off  for the night, Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.
Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.
When neither of these methods removed the static noise ,I would sit helplessly and  wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.
1、Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?
A．He got an older model than he had expected.
B．He couldn’t return it when it was broken.

2、Which of the following can best replace the phrase ”signed off” in Paragraph 1?
A．ended all their programs B．provided fewer channels

3、How did the author finally get his TV set working again?
A．By shaking and hitting it. B．By turning it on and off.

23．（8分）When was the last time you sent a postcard? The UK’s family-owned oldest postcard firm,which has been publishing postcards and calendars since 1880, will close this December. The reason? It says instead of penning a card,people are putting photos up on Facebook or Instagram or using WhatsApp to show friends arid family at home just how much fun they’re having.
If you get a postcard from someone who’s away somewhere, it’s as much the thought that they’ve gone through the hassle(麻烦)of choosing a postcard, working out where to get a stamp from,finding a postbox and then the postcard making that journey through to you. That’s the value of the postcard．But that time has gone．
Brothers Charles and Harry Salmon, the fifth generation of the family to run the firm, said the popularity of social media had had a huge impact on the business. People are also tending to take shorter holidays, meaning they are likely to have arrived home long before their postcards. As a result the business was no longer viable.
“Increasingly challenging trading conditions and changes to the nature and size of the market for its publications have resulted in uncertainty over the future of its trade,” the brothers wrote in a letter to suppliers and newsagents.
As a result they were announcing a proposal to withdraw from publishing. The number of postcards sold each year is reported to have seen a sharp decline to about five million from 20 million just 25 years ago. But the firm said that as well as the drop in the number of postcards sent. “we have also had to consider that there are no more members of the family who wish to join the business."
1、What is the best title of the text?
A．UK’s oldest postcard firm set to close
B．Postcard industry booming in the future
C．UK's postcard firm through a tough time
D．Postcard industry needing support to survive
2、What’s the value of sending a postcard?
A．It’s a journey of love
B．It’s a symbol of sympathy
C．It’s an act of patience
D．It’s a way of passing time
3、What does the underlined word “viable" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Worth of praise
B．Possible to change
C．Short of money
D．likely to exist
4、Where does this text probably come from?
A．A business column
B．A finance report
C．A hi-tech advertisement
D．A book review
24．（8分） I was born and raised in Minnesota, the USA, but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa. I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris. For the last 15 years, I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust, communicate, and make decisions especially in the workplace.
While traveling in Tokyo recently with a colleague, I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers. At the end, I asked whether there were any questions or comments. No hands went up, so I went to sit down. My colleague whispered to me, “I think there actually were some comments, Erin. Do you mind if I fry?” I agreed, but I guessed it a waste of breath. He asked the group again. “Any comments or questions?”
Still, no one raised a hand, but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience. Gesturing to one of them, he said, “Do you have something to add?” To my amazement, she responded “Yes, thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question. My colleague repeated this several times, looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.
After the session, I asked my colleague, “How do you know that those people had questions?” He hesitated, not sure how to explain it, and then said, “it has to do with how bright their eyes are.”
He continued, “In Japan, we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West. So when you asked if there were any comments, most people were not looking directly at you. But a few people in the group were looking right at you, and their eyes were bright. That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”
I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota. Since then, I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter, and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.
1、What can we conclude from the first paragraph?
A．Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out.
B．The author enjoys traveling around the world.
C．Different cultures are kind of familiar to the author.
D．The author may start his own business in the future.
2、Hearing the colleague whispering, the author ________.
A．went back to his scat and got seated
B．knew his colleague had some questions
C．owed a big debt of gratitude to his colleague
D．thought his colleague would get nowhere
3、Where does the author’s colleague probably come from?
A．Japan. B．America.
C．Africa. D．France
4、Which is the proper title for the passage?
A．Focusing on Behavior in Cultures.
B．Looking at Another Culture in the Eye.
C．Sharing Different Cultures in Tokyo.
D．Admiring the Beauty in the Eye.
25．（10分）Dear Mom,
I haven’t written before for quite a while because I have got no energy. I now get around my room and this floor of the hospital with a walking stick but I can go only a little bit at a time because I’m awfully weak yet. My right leg was taken out of the cast (石膏) several days ago and it’s still as stiff as a board and awfully sore from so much carving around the knee joint. But the surgeon says that eventually it will be all right. I’ve included a picture of me in bed. It looks like my left leg is a stump (残肢), but it really isn’t. Just bent so it looks that way...
This war makes us a bit less fools than we were. There isn’t going to be any such thing as “foreigners” for me after the war is won. I’ve gotten Italian pretty well. I’ve picked up quite a lot of Polish and my French is improving. You want to be prepared for a lot of visitors after the war now because I’ve a lot of pals coming to see me in Chicago. I don’t know when I’ll be back. I can’t get in the army and they won’t take me with two shaky legs in the draft (征兵) if I go home. So I might as well stay over here and avoid the awkwardness for a while.
Also Ma, I’m in love again. Now don’t start worrying about me getting married for I’m not. I’m not even going to get engaged. So don’t write any “God Bless U, My Children”: Not for about 10 years. You’re a dear old kid, and still my best girl. God bless you and write me often... I love you.
Ernie
1、By mentioning that his right leg would be all right, the writer intends to ___________.
A．show the cruelty of the war B．put his mom’s mind at ease
C．persuade his girlfriend to marry him D．get his mom’s permission to join the army
2、We can learn from the letter that ___________.
A．Ernie is able to speak four foreign languages
B．Ernie hardly made any friends before the war
C．Ernie hopes to keep in touch with his mother
D．Ernie is engaged but hasn’t had the plan for marriage
3、What emotion is mainly conveyed in the letter?
A．Love for Mom. B．Fear about pain.
C．Gratitude for doctors. D．Doubt about friendship.
